[Seaside] canvas translator & new version of Seafox

[Nick Ager]

As ever putting code out it in the wild has revealed a few bugs:
* pasting a large snippet of html, would stop the the translation working
back between tags with the "loading" message appearing.
* unmapped attributes weren't quote escaped.

If you've tried it and just saw "loading" when flipping tabs, try again -
I've uploaded a new version and it should be fixed.

Explanation:
I was using an ajax get request - which encoded the render method. The get
string became too large and was failed by the front-end web-server to
seasidehosting.st (apache?)
Changing to an ajax post and ensuring I had the latest Seaside code fixed
the problem (see http://code.google.com/p/seaside/issues/detail?id=651)
